Chief's wrapper with black ground and patterned with yellow stepped crosses that form a diamond-shaped lattice. The pattern is called mpauankron, which means "nine-tuft ceremonial haircut" and symbolizes loyalty, service and a sense of democracy and duty. The cloth has two outer borders weft-patterned in red, green and gold. There is a similar strip down the center, making it suitable for wear by a chief.
